Ossa, you don't care that the ownership, who provides you with the Student Rush, the players, and the coaches really dislike it?

I'd like Shero to trade your bunch to Winnipeg for 9 white t-shirts, a beer-soaked toque, and petrified nachos. And get Kim Clackson to "deliver" the news to you. Don't you think it can't happen.

Do you have proof the players/coaches don't like it? The team is 17-6 at home.

As one of the people who complains a lot about the "woo", the way this thread is going and the bile and hate and some stupidity coming out, I think I will never complain about the noise at games ever again. also when I go ill make sure I sit there and behave like a good boy who apparently doesn't want to make anyone mad.

Just do what i plan on doing if the Pens make it to the Finals. Get standing room only at the very top of the arena. That way, you don't deal with the pompous STH's and you still get to cheer. You're happy, they're happy. Everyone win.

No way i go back to regular seating if i can help it. And i will only go if the Pens are in the finals.

Went for the Frozen 4 not long ago and it was a great atmosphere. Could cheer as intensely as you desired and people just joined in with you. Was amazing.

Definitive proof? A direct quote? No, I don't. I should have qualified it with "reportedly," because that's what I'm working from--a bunch of people from home and a tPB. So, take it as a hypothetical, keeping in mind I wouldn't have posed the question had I not heard the report more than, say, 5 times.

Speaking for myself, I often find it difficult to listen to Lange and Bourque on the radio with the wooing. On my laptop, anyway, it usually sounds like you guys are right under their booth and you and PxP are at equal volume.

Questions like this really drive me to hyperbole... What relevance does the second statement have to do with the first question? To wit... Do drunk drivers really endanger people? I've driven on the road lots of times, and a drunk driver has never run into me. What does the second part of the statement have to do with the first? Beats me, but it sure isn't cause and effect.

Someone's comprehension seems to be lacking, because this point has already been adequately addressed...

I find it impossible that someone, now multiple people, can't comprehend that there's a middle ground between cheering for your team at a sporting event and being a ****face...it's pretty simple really. Why intentionally miss the point and make yourself look even more foolish in a public forum...?

I mean, no offense, but how I look to LGPers is probably very low on my list of things I care about. I said it to get a ruse out of you, and, it must have worked. I obviously realize that there is a continuum between Winnipeg-noise and Ric Flair-noise. However I was making a point.

My point was that this board always finds something to **** and moan about. First the arena is too quiet, now the noise in the stands isn't the noise you want it to be, so now we have 8 pages of incessant complaining about Student Rushers among everything else. There's complaining in the midst of a 15 game winning streak--Malkin is a lazy Russian, Kennedy sucks, trade Endicott--whatever it is. I'm just saying, this board is never happy. Ever. The last time it was, was in June of 2009. I was a senior in high school. I graduate college next week.

Simply put - if you are "wooing" in the sense of our discussion (ie random outburst meant clearly for the sake of annoying other people), you are an a-hole.Do you have the right to be an a-hole? Sure... to an extent. If a pompous STH has an usher remove you - you've earned it.The crowd at consol has not been quiet at all for about 2 months - that's not because of the wooers.

This thread isn't about complaining - I think it was more to explore just what the point is of wooing - and so far the only thing we've found is that it's meant to do exaclty what everyone thought it was meant to do - annoy people.

I have flaws. What are they? Oh I don't know, I sing in the shower? Sometimes, I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally, I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me
